Item description from seller

283 p. leicht berieben, Bleistifteintrag auf Schmutztitel, sonst gut und sauber / slightly rubbed, pencil entry on half title, otherwise good and clean. - Question and Answer is Hans Robert Jausss effort, within the context of his earlier theoretical work, to understand the multifaceted self in relation to the cultural sphere. Minnesota introduced Jauss to English-language readers with two volumes published in 1982-Toward a Theory of Reception, which includes his manifesto for reception theory, and Aesthetic Experience and Literary Hermeneutics, which places it in a broader institutional, philosophical, and historical framework. Jausss readings in Question and Answer apply the theory and bring his critical work to completion. Here he deals with the specific mechanism of literary and cultural understanding, refining his notion of the hermeneutic circle-how the reader interacts with the text and participates in a dialogue with it. In this books first group of essays, Jauss explores aspects of the fictive, including the use of fictional means to apprehend and represent historical experience. Then he examines question and answer-the dialogic-in both poetry and prose. His essay on Diderots Neveu de Rameau is of particular interest for its questions about Socratic dialogue and Hegels dialectic in the light of Bakhtins theory of the dialogic. Jauss next traces the movement from one cultural epoch to another by reconstructing the reception, in France and Germany, of Rousseaus Nouvelle Héloïse and Goethes Werther. In the closing section, Jauss looks at his own critical practice historically. Hans Robert Jauss is professor of literary criticism and romance philology at the University of Konstanz in West Germany. Michael Hays is professor of dramatic literature and criticism at Cornell University. He is the author of The Public and Performance: Essays on the History of French and German Theatre, 1870-1900. / Contents Foreword Michael Hays A. The Communicative Role of the Fictive 1.
